Layne's 7th Birthday

B now has a social life. This is only the first of the many birthday parties that he has been invited to.

We almost did not made it because of the heavy rain. Luckily, FM picked us up and took us to the party. B was really happy. He enjoyed running around and I had to stop myself from telling him to just sit down in a corner. In this way, FM has been a good influence on me because I am learning to let loose and be more calm in dealing with B.

B had a lot of fun and we bought his classmate a book as a gift. I don't really give expensive gifts to children because they still don't know how to take care of expensive toys. Also, I am a believer of encouraging your child to read.

Oh, FM and I also had fun. :) We hanged out with the other parents and were able to socialize a bit. It's a first for both of us in the sense that we were together in a children's party but I have a strong gut feel that it won't be the last.
